Sherman M51; an accidental build.

[tomhugill]

I think you should bring at least one of those (m51/50) on Sunday Dave!

[forgebear]

[tomhugill]

Aww shame!! But yay to the 50!

Some little completions have arose. I was going to start building the rear stowage and realised there was a whole but at the rear I hadn't made so I had to do that first:







Im not sure why I bothered with the louvre detai as I've realised no one will see it!

Next up I started building the rear stowage, I've only got as far as the carcass, the pictures show its a tube frame with metal sheet made up over it. I'll be making up the frame with brass tube soldered together.

Tom,
You will know that the louvre detail is there. ;o) That's always been good enough for me when I do something like add a detail only I will see being put into place. It is looking great!
regards,
Painless

You going to put a smoker in there Tom? I have my exhaust hooked up similarly... when I run the smoker ... it looks like it's on fire ...

No room sadly alpha! Tbh I'm not really one for smokers as its something to go wrong. Those super smokers to look great though!

Some reason the kv-1 mfu doesn't like the Sherman wireline loom
